Celebrate Earth Day by playing a round of golf. It’s good for the environment!

“The golf industry has made very significant strides in areas like water and energy conservation and reuse, (reduction of turfgrass to decrease inputs), preservation of native vegetation, habitat protection, wetlands conservation, recycling, wastewater treatment, fertilizer reduction, integrated pest management and storm water runoff management, just to name a few,” said Rob Wood, director of the EPA Office of Water’s Engineering and Analysis Division. “The integration of these principles at any specific course is really leading to those courses having a lighter environmental footprint.”
